Answer:
1) y=⅚x -2⅓
2) y=8/3x -5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Point-slope form:</u>
y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
Parallel lines have the same gradient.
Gradient of given line= 
Thus, m=⅚
Susbt. m=⅚ into the equation,
y= ⅚x +c
Since the line passes through the point (4, 1), (4, 1) must satisfy the equation. Thus, substitute (4, 1) into the equation to find c.
When x=4, y=1,
1= ⅚(4) +c
Thus the equation of the line is 
.
The gradients of perpendicular lines= -1.
Gradient of given line= -⅜
-⅜(gradient of line)= -1
gradient of line
= -1 ÷ (-⅜)
= -1 ×(-8/3)
= 
When x=3, y=3,
Thus the equation of the line is 
.
Answer:
B) 34/48
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest common denominator to find is the product of the denominators you have.
__
The difference is ...
__
<em>Additional comment</em>
The difference numerator and denominator have a common factor of 2, so can be reduced to 17/24. The denominator 24 could have been used as the common denominator from the start.
5/6 -1/8 = 20/24 -3/24 = 17/24 . . . . reduced result
__
Using the <em>least common denominator</em> does not always result in a reduced sum or difference. If some other denominator is used (as here), then you can be assured that the result will need to be reduced to get to lowest terms.
<span>basically since 30 minutes is half of an hour, to get to a full hour you can multiply by 2, so you do that for both, 2/3 included so you get 2/3 * 2/1 4/3 is 1 1/3</span>
